The second hero is Widow-
maker. Her real name is
Amélie Lacroix, she is 33 ye-
ars old and she comes from
France. Widowmaker is the
perfect killer. Patient, mer-
ciless and effective killer,
who doesn’t show any emo-
tions, nor compunction. It
is assumed that in her past
life she was married to Gé-
rard Lacriox – agent of
Overwatch, who was the lea-
der of the operation against
Talon, a terroristic organi-
sation. After few unsucces-
sful attempts to kill Gerard,
Talon decided to focus their
aim on Amélie. Agents of
Talon kidnapped Amélie and
subjected her to intensive
programme. They broke her
will, suppressed her charac-
ter and made a night killer
out of her.
In the end, she was found by
the Overwatch agents and
came back to her ordina-
ry life. Two weeks later she
killed Gérard while he was
sleeping. Her mission was
done and she returned to
Talon, where they made a li-
ving weapon out of her. She
was given a wide training
about secrecy and in the
end she achieved a physical
change in the form of dras-
tical slowing of the heart,
38
which changed her overall
appearance. She has a blue
skin and lost het ability of
feeling human emotions.
Amélie is gone forever. Now,
Widowmaker is the most
effective killer and despi-
te everything a little bit of
feelings remains, and that
is the satisfaction of a suc-
cessful work. Her skills are:
Widow‘s kiss – her universal
sniper gun which is ideal for
a long ranges. In the close
or mean range, the gun can
be used as a fully automatic
gun. Another skill is umbrel-
la hook, which gets her at
the hardly reachable places.
Venom Mine is venomous
mine, which is most of time
at the walls. When the object
goes by, mine is activated
and launches venomous gas,
which kills all the enemies.
